Do it once,then do it RIGHT!

i figured, if i'm gonna do it once, i might as well do it right.
what do you guys think? By the time i get my wheels on, i'll have my tsunami front bumper, MS sides, and Ings rear spoiler and Ings mud guards.

what do you guys think?

Axis Hiro (staggered) in Silver w/ polished lip
or
VOLK SF WINNING gunmetal

My main question is, will gunmetal wheels look weird on a silver car??
i don't think i've ever seen that setup before

also you could never go wrong with volks. Don't recommend a staggered setup though, might through off the balance of the car.

Yeah, it definitely does. I wanted Hiros even before I found Tsunami, but that just all but confirmed it.

I think he meant he bought the kit... but not the wheels yet.

Can't go wrong with Volk. If you got the money, might as well right?

Are you asking about the wheels from a looks or quality perspective? Looks are subjective but I would go with the Volks. Quality wise, it is not even close. From within a few feet anybody can see that the Volks are superior. I am not biased cause I have a set either. :D

i'm looking for alternatives
and payment plans

my deal with MIKEB fell short b/c i was still gathering funds.. then it hit me. If i concerned myself that much with a hybrid aero rear rather an a fiberglass rear, i might as well do it slow and right.

so i think i'm gonna pick up some volks one by one... or axis hiro's

I'm glad you customizing your car.

Makes people really awe when they see so many different RX8's on the road.
